Proof Barber Half Dollars
1914 50C PR64 PCGS. This sought-after date has the lowest mintages in both proof and circulation strike format within the entire Barber half dollar set. Just 380 proofs were minted alongside the 124,230 P-mint business strikes. Budget-minded collectors looking to fill this key date in their set with a high-quality coin should definitively consider this offering. Colorful toning throughout this Choice proof includes shades of yellow, green, gold, lavender, and indigo. Lightly patinated devices and richly toned, deeply mirrored fields give each side a moderate cameo appearance. Minor contact occurs beneath the lavish toning on both sides.
